Description

Accounts in Judaeo-Arabic. The document initailly appears to be dated in l. 12 of the recto 15(?) Ramaḍān 918 AH(?), or 1512 CE– but it is uncommon for Hijrī years to be written in this format: ט׳א׳ח (9-1-8). Further doubt is cast on this reading by mention of the Ottoman coinage gurush (גרש) throughout the document: which was not minted until the late seventeenth century. Requires further examination. MCD.
